Syntax Error JSON file read with AJAX - ajax

Question

I am getting a syntax error for the square bracket '[' from my JSON file. Given below is the JSON.
[
{
"Product Name":"CPE 10281",
"Application":"Tyres",
"Weight":150,
"Cost to Produce":5000,
"Grade":"A",
"Cost to Sell":40000,
"Strength":100
},
{
"Product Name":"CPE 10282",
"Application":"computers",
"Weight":250,
"Cost to Produce":4000,
"Grade":"H",
"Cost to Sell":25000,
"Strength":90
}
]
I am trying to use AJAX to read my JSON file.
$.ajax({
url: "dataProductJSON.json",
dataType: 'json',
mimeType: "application/json",
success: function (data) {
var item = [];
$.each(data, function (key, val) {
item.push('<li id="' + key + '">' + val + '</li>');
});
$('<ul/>', {
'class': 'interest-list',
html: item.join('')
}).appendTo('body');
},
});
I am running my html from Eclipse with Apache Geronimo as the server.
Please Help.

You are missing a { in the below line
success: function (data)
Make it
success: function (data) {
Edit
You are having parsing the data incorrectly , do it as below
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
dataType: 'json',
mimeType: "application/json",
success: function (data) {
var item = [];
$.each(data, function (key, val){
$.each(val, function (innerKey, innerValue){
item.push('<li id="' + innerKey + '">' + innerValue + '</li>');
});
});
$('<ul/>', {
'class': 'interest-list',
html: item.join('')
}).appendTo('body');
},
});
You need to use 2 loop , one for the array and the other to loop through the object property
I tried things and it is working fine
